In addition to that, the team will be helping advertise multiple Unilever products.

Unilever is regarded as one of the world’s leading suppliers of food, refreshments, home, and personal care products. This isn’t the first time the British–Dutch multinational consumer goods company has partnered with JR Motorsports. In fact, the consumer goods giant will be tying up with the team and extending its relationship to 13 years.

It is worth noting that the partnership between Unilever and JRM is one of the longest-running in the Xfinity Series. To that end, Dale Earnhardt Jr is proud of the healthy relationship with the consumer goods giant.
